The next morning, the younger generation set off first to return to the imperial capital.
Cheng Tianfang's cervical spondylosis is somewhat serious, coupled with excessive sadness, her mental state is very poor.
Xue Heng and his daughter were worried about letting her stay. After saying goodbye in a hurry, they took her back.
Shanyou and Mini Tiger are still over there in the South Island. Little Tiger has to go to work and has no time to take care of Little Tiger.
After all, Wang Qing is already old. How can one person cope with a little mischief that is jumping around all day long?
Ahu had no choice but to go back and take care of his grandson.
Considering that the little tiger is too naughty, he will definitely not be able to survive on the plane.
In addition, Ahu and Wang Qing are both long-term drug users, so it may be inconvenient for them to be on the road for a long time.
Therefore, Xiao Huzi followed Cheng Huanran and others by plane, while Ahu and Wang Qing took their grandson back in a nanny car with Xue Yang and his family.
The bodyguards were divided into three groups, leaving three people in Chengjia Village while the others returned to the imperial capital first.
Cheng Tianyuan and his wife stayed with their father-in-law and mother-in-law until after the first seven days, they slowly packed their bags and planned to go back.
"That's weird..." Xue Ling put down the phone, frowned and whispered: "I don't know what's going on, but Lao Chen hasn't answered the phone."
Xue's father and mother were eating snow clam and papaya soup. When they heard this, they looked up one after another.
"What's wrong?
Lao Chen hasn’t arrived yet?”
"Didn't you come here the day before yesterday?
Isn’t that right?
Could it be that I remembered it wrong?"
Xue Ling shook his head: "I remember correctly, Lao Chen drove south on the highway the day before yesterday afternoon.
Logically speaking, he got here last afternoon, or last night at the latest."
"Didn't you answer the phone?"
Father Xue licked his mouth and said, "This papaya soup is so delicious!"
Xue Ling put away the phone and said warmly: "Don't worry, maybe the car broke down on the road. I'll call him later."
"Ling!"
Mother Xue smiled and waved: "Come here for a moment."
Xue Ling smiled fondly and stepped forward.
"Mom, have you finished drinking?
Is something wrong?"
Mother Xue lowered her voice: "The two young chefs Tietou hired are quite good... We all like the southern dishes they cook these days.
Do you think we are trying to recruit people to our Xinyuan?"
Xue Ling thought about it seriously: "Mom, it is enough for us to have Lao Li and Xiao Li in our big kitchen.
He is a chef in a big hotel. He looks young and has been in many places, so it may be difficult to recruit him."
"I'll hire them myself, right?"
Mother Xue proudly raised her chin: "Your father and I still have tens of millions! As long as we don't spend recklessly, it's no problem to hire a dozen more!"
Xue Ling was a little dumbfounded: "Is this about money?
Okay, okay! Since you like their southern cuisine, let me give it a try.
He earns more in the new year and has never been lenient in spending money.
He called these two chefs over to the villa to cook for us, and they seemed to give us more than a thousand a day.
With his head like this, I'm afraid it's hard to negotiate the price."
"Give them the same salary as Lao Li."
Mother Xue made a prompt decision.
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "Do you want both?
Is it too much?”
"Go and ask."
Dad Xue interjected: "We are interested in their craftsmanship, but others may not agree.
It would be great if the two of them could be together.
If not, then ask them to help introduce a master of similar level to them, just one will do."
"Yep!"
Xue’s mother emphasized again: “We pay for them ourselves—it doesn’t cost you anything!”
Xue Ling gave her old mother a roll of her eyes, and just when she turned around, she saw Cheng Tianyuan walking in with his face red from the sun and sweating profusely.
"Yeah! Are you thirsty?"
She hurriedly poured a large glass of warm water and mixed it with some mineral water, "It's very hot outside, drink more water."
Cheng Tianyuan thanked him and took it. He drank more than half of the glass before letting out a long breath of relief.
"The sun is so hot today that my hair seems to be smoking!"
Xue Ling turned on the electric fan and turned it to him, smiling lightly: "The old people are all downstairs, and the air conditioner is only turned on at 27 degrees.
Come, let me cool you down.
By the way, have we discussed it yet?"
"alright."
Cheng Tianyuan explained: "The owner of the flower and tree farm used to pay the rent until the end of the year, so I refunded him the rent for the entire year as a little compensation.
Most of the plants he grows are potted plants that only need to be moved.
Many of the saplings were already as tall as a person, and he was worried that they would die if they were dug up.
I said that what we wanted to build was a small park, and we could keep the large trees and buy them for him at 80% of the market price.
He immediately agreed, saying that the saplings would probably not survive if they were dug up in such weather, and I was able to prevent him from losing money and still make some profit, and he was very grateful in his heart."
Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "Originally, the contract was signed, and it was indeed our fault to let people move temporarily.
As appropriate compensation, we will buy all the saplings. Anyway, we will have to buy flowers, plants and trees for the small park in the future.”
"yes!"
Cheng Tianyuan put down the cup and explained: "He said he would find a place to move immediately and asked us to give him a month.
We still have to find a landscaper to design it, and we can’t rush it for a while.”
Xue Ling nodded: "It's okay, just give him more than a month."
At this time, her cell phone rang! Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and smiled, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lao Chen finally called me back.
When there was no news about him, I was considering whether to call the police."
Cheng Tianyuan laughed and said hurriedly: "Ask him what happened! I guess he probably overslept in a roadside hotel."
Xue Ling hurriedly pressed answer, and after an ups and downs of conversation, she put the phone away.
"Lao Chen had an accident on the road yesterday afternoon. The front of his car was hit quite seriously. It's now being sent for repairs. It will take at least two or three days to repair it."
Cheng Tianyuan was stunned: "What's going on?"
Xue Ling explained: "He said that yesterday a large truck suddenly lost control on the highway. It crossed the median and rushed into the opposite lane. It hit three cars back and forth, and finally hit him head-on until it was hit by a roadside railing.
It didn't stop until someone stopped it.
He was knocked unconscious and had a slight concussion. He lay in the hospital all night and is fine now."
"People safe is good."
Cheng Tianyuan frowned and sighed: "It's such a big accident. I'm lucky to be able to save my life! It's okay. We all have insurance on the car and we just need to repair it."
How is Lao Chen doing?
Do you need someone to come over and pick him up?"
"He said no."
Xue Ling replied: "He said he is walking around fine now, and the doctor also did a full body examination on him, and all indicators are normal.
He has just contacted the tow truck and has sent the car to the 4S shop for repairs. He will not be able to pick us up until three days later."
"Okay, let's wait."
Cheng Tianyuan whispered: "My parents are old. It's not appropriate for them to go to the airport and go through the security check to get on and off the plane. Anyway, we don't need two or three days."
Xue Ling nodded.
"Ling!"
Mother Xue yelled: "Come! Come quickly! You scold your father! He secretly drank yellow beer! He was hiding in the corner of the refrigerator and drank secretly! Damn old man! A glutton!"
